THE HALE.HOLIDAY GROWS IN FAVOR
NEARLY 100000 PEOPLE ENJOYED 1T YESTERDAY

NEARLY 1000 PEOPLE ENJOYED 1T YESTERDAY
EMPLOYERS FALLING INTO LINE.
The Saturday half holiday movement continues to gain
ground in a gratifying 10 those who enjoy its
benefits One of the leaders OF the movement declared
last evening that nearly 100000 people observed
in this city yesterday afternoon. OF this
merely an estimate, attempt to enumerate the
places which close Saturdays has yet been
made But from the holiday appearance OF the lower
portions Of the city after O'Clock one would be In
cned to think these figures not far out Of the way.
The members OF the Halfholiday Committee are still
endeavorng to get employers to change pay day from
Saturday to day earlier In the week Until this de-
srable change made they say 1t will be difficult to get
the large retail the West side and along Grand
ST. TO adopt the early closing system Several firms have
already begun TO pay OF early IN the week, and the
mitee is hopeful that sufficient number will follow
their example to make the reform general through
out the city by next month. Tho various
labor organizations giving assistance IN the matter
and the committee feel that success is only question OF
time.

LIFE is becoming a burden to the
proprietors of railroad eating-houses,
hotels and restaurants in New York
state because expert agents of the
Dairymen's Association ere liable to
drop in at any minute and cause their
arrest for using oleomargarine as but
ter. Some of these agents can tell the
spurious article a. hundred feet away,
and, as they are as smooth as butter
themselves, they are greatly dreaded
by the purveyors who ladle out the
counterfeit. The landlords hope to
make money by using oleomargarine,
and the agents, who are given a re-
ward for each conviction, make money
by discouraging them. In this way
are new industries born and the polit-
ical economists befuddled.

HENRY JENKINsoN, who has been
called "the English Pinkerton," is re-
ported to have resigned his office as
chief of the government detective
force. He has been very successful in
hunting down criminals, especially in
Ireland, and on more than one occa-
sion he has made an apparently ire
sistible case against an absolutely in
nocent man. Particularly has this
been so in connection with so-called
Irish-American conspiracies, and he
has been freely accused of something
worse than espionage and brilliantcy
He has always been great admirer of
the French detective system, and even
went so far few years ago as to pro-
pose it's adoption in Ireland. The
people of that unfortunate land will
not put on sackcloth and ashes be-
cause of the resignation.

DURING the past year there was an
increase OF 100000 in the saving
bank deposits of Connecticut, and q
gain of Sic, 100000 in those of
Massachusetts,. Other states furnish
similar reports, without giving definite
figures. Such statistics Indicate, in
the most positive and significant way,
that the laboring people of the coun-
try, who make most of the deposits
in the saving banks, are receiving rea-
sonable wages and practicing sue
cessful philosophy of economy. There
is room for Improvement of course
but it is manifestly true at the same
time that much of the complains
about the oppression of labor in the
United States is mere imagination, to
say the best of it.

Excellence OF Newspapers.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
While the great journals of to-day
may have tendency to overwhelm
feeble minds by the mere magnitude of
their bulk, he who reads them with
attention will probably obtain more
solid knowledge, more pregnant sug-
gestion, more general ideas, morefood
for thought and more educational
progress than he would be at all like
ly to derive from any book reading
possible in the same time. The
modern newspaper often contains the
matter of an octave volume in one is
sue. Sometimes it contains the mat
ter of more than one such volume.
Frequently it devotes to single OBJ
ject as much space as one of the great
encyclopedias would give, and in pre-
senting papers of the kind it often
puts at the disposal of it's readers the
precise and exhaustive knowledge of
some eminent specialist. In dealing
with current events the newspaper
aims at accuracy, intelligent discus
sion, attractiveness of style and COM
pactness and condensation of matter.
The result is that it treats it's topics
far more tersely and vigorously than
as g. rule they are treated in books.
1t furnishes the public with ideas re-
duced to the most simple and digesti-
BILE form.

A. e. Stevenson, who is one of the best
story-tellers in public life, tells the fol-
lowing at his own expense:
"While making my third campaign
for Congress In the BLOOMINGTON Dis
trict of Illinois, [ was called up one
night to address an audience at q
small place in Logan County. An old
time Democrat living in the town was
called upon to preside at the meeting
and to introduce the speaker. He
said:

He Expires Suddenly at the House of
the English Premier.
Lord Iddesleigh. until recently
g. member of Lord Salisbury's'
cabinet, died suddenly on the
18th. He was ascending the stairs
of Lord Salisbury's official resi-
dence in Downing Street, when he
tainted. lie was carried into the
prime minister's room, and almost
instantly expired. DR.. Mortimer
Granville, his physician, says: Lord
Iddesleigh Tor many years past has
suffered with cardiac affections which,
while not placing his life in immediate
peril, rendered the prospect of it's sud-
He died of syncope. The melancholy
event, although startling to those
around him, has not been unforeseen
by his immediate friends, and it has
been anticipated by his medical at
tendants."
Lord Iddesleigh was better known as Sir
Stafford Eorthcote. In his early public
life be was private secretary to Mr.. Glad.
stone at the board OF trade 1S43-45.
After that he was for some time legal secre-
tary to the board, but it was not until
1859 that his regular ascent up the official
ladder began. He was in succession finan-
cial secretary to the treasury, 1859. presi-

one remembers, given the sinecure
of first lord of the treasury He
was g. mem Ter of the joint high commission
on the Aiaby ma claims. Lord Iddesleigh
was not an eloquent speaker, but he was
always sensible, cultivated and gentleman
ly. He hau 1t keen sense of humor, which
he sometimes turned against himself as
when he once discussed his sad lack of go"
and he could tell very good story. He
was educated at Eaton and Baliol, where
he rowed in the eight, was 81 years OF age,
and had sat in the House of Commons for
just thirty years, He is succeeded in his
titles by his eldest son, Walter Stafford.

A Nice Question.

A pretty question was submitted to the
National House of Representatives on the
18th. Representative Aiken, of South
Carolina, has not been in Washington since
he was elected but is detained at his home
hy illness. He cannot draw his salary till
he is sworn in, and no congressman was
ever sworn in elsewhere than in the House
Of Representatives, in the presence of his
fellow members. One of Mr.. Aiken
colleagues presented a written oath
subscribed to by him, and asked that it
be accepted, the purpose being, of course
to place to the credit of Mr.. Aiken about
$4,000 on the books of the sergeant-at-
arms for salary mileage and stationery
account. His colleague declared that he
was performing his duties as member of
Congress by mail, although just how he
did it was not explained. Mr.. Burrows
called the attention of the members to the
fact that precedent would be established
in the case that would come up to plague
them, and on this suggestion the matter
was referred to the committee on the Judi.
